We'll your comments goes to prove you have not studied congressman Kucinich voteing record or political Hitory or back ground. He certainly is good at getting his face on the National stage when he want to, but doesn't use that ability as a good leader or carrier of good cause's. He doesn't work well with other Demacrates or Republicans. He did have his chance to be heard, and he let it go by. He wasn't forceful in seeking out help to adance his initiatives. That kind of man makes a poor leader. Thats why he isn't a leader of any group in washington. He's a kind man, who tries hard to represent his people and I don't have one thing against him. He is not a visionary, and relize this is the first steps and the door is now open for improvement, arguements, concessions and comprimise in the years to come. No other Prez. ever was able to get this started, and passed--------although it has been talked about for many years in Washington Politics.
